The company completed a $500 million public offering of senior notes and reported a decrease in operating cash flow by 9% to $205 million. Strategic moves included the acquisition of Mott Corporation, which is expected to enhance IDEX’s product offerings in advanced technology markets.
Despite challenges, IDEX’s CEO highlighted strong operational execution and growth in specific segments, such as Health & Science Technologies.
